I've never been a gamer. I don't have a console past N64, but it has got me addicted. I'm about to unistall though as I have more pressing matters to attend to - hopefully!
It is addictive, but I've just uninstalled it, as when you get past level 160 or so, it just comes down to luck. Not much skill or thought involved if the candies don't fall right and you only have one move thoughout a game!
